Comedian Jerry Seinfeld has taken his iconic standup routine joke about Pop Tarts and turned it into a new Netflix film titled Unfrosted. The film delves into the absurdity of the popular breakfast treat that has managed to captivate consumers despite its lack of freshness.
Seinfeld not only stars in Unfrosted but also serves as the creator and director. The film boasts an impressive ensemble cast including Melissa McCarthy, Bill Burr, James Marsden, Dan Levy, Hugh Grant, Jim Gaffigan, Christian Slater, Jack McBrayer, Sarah Cooper, Adrian Martinez, and more.
However, the inclusion of Amy Schumer in the cast has raised some eyebrows, with some critics questioning her comedic abilities. Despite this, Unfrosted promises to be a lighthearted comedy exploring the intersection of breakfast and capitalism in the 1960s.
The trailer for Unfrosted teases a humorous take on how a seemingly mediocre and bland food item like the Pop Tart rose to massive popularity, drawing parallels to the success of certain pop artists.
Viewers can look forward to the release of Unfrosted on Netflix on May 3rd, offering a nostalgic and comedic look at the rise of a breakfast staple that continues to endure in the hearts of many despite its peculiarities.
